When Antarctica Was Warm… Whenever I read an article about how Antarctica was once a warm and tree covered paradise, my imagination soars and I wonder, well then, who was living there then? Some people say that the true location of Atlantis is under the ice of Antarctica – it IS a giant island after all… And with all the evidence lately of civilization being way older than we ever thought, who is to say that we weren’t around a million years ago building cities?

Early Cave Art May Not Be of Human Origin This is one of the most interesting arguments in favor of the “humanity” of our old friends the Neanderthals! Famous Cave Paintings Might Not Be From Humans by CHRISTOPHER JOYCE (NPR) “The famous paintings on the walls of caves in Europe mark the beginning of figurative art and a great leap forward for human culture. But now a novel method of determining the age of some of those cave paintings questions their provenance. Not that they’re fakes — only that it might not have been modern humans who made them. The first European cave paintings are thought to have been made…

According to a new theory, time may be running out. A new theory suggests that one day in the distant future time could actually run out and the entire universe would grind to a halt. This terrifies me! One of the things about Buddhist thought that I enjoy is the idea that everything changes. What is happening right now will absolutely change. This is a great comfort to me in hard times. But what if this is entirely and profoundly not the case at all?

We’re sorry but the apocalypse has been cancelled… We’re sorry but the apocalypse has been cancelled due to mass misunderstanding of ancient messages: Ancient Mayan workshop for astronomers discovered (THE ASSOCIATED PRESS) This undated image made available by National Geographic shows four long numbers on the north wall of a ruined house related to the Maya calendar and computations about the moon, sun and possibly Venus and Mars; the dates stretch some 7,000 years into the future. Archaeologists have found a small room in Mayan ruins where royal scribes apparently used walls like a blackboard to keep track of astronomical records and the society’s intricate calendar some 1,200 years ago.…

Dinosaur Flatulence May Have Been The Death of Them… Here’s the amazing line from this article: “huge plant-eating dinosaurs called sauropods pumped more methane into the atmosphere than all of today’s natural and industrial sources of methane combined.” !! Dinosaur Flatulence Might Have Warmed Prehistoric Climate Photo: Reuters Dinosaurs might have contributed to their own demise by passing large amounts of heat-trapping methane gas into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering a lethal warming of the planet some 150 million years ago. That is the theory being proposed by researchers in Britain, whose new study suggests that huge plant-eating dinosaurs called sauropods pumped more methane into the atmosphere than all of today’s…
